Coursera's Stress First Aid catalogue teaches you the fundamental principles and techniques of this essential framework for preserving mental health, preventing further harm, and promoting recovery in high-stress work environments. You'll learn to recognize stress reactions, apply a flexible menu of support options, implement continuous, primary, and secondary aid strategies, and utilize SFA for both self-care and colleague support. Mastering Stress First Aid empowers you to create a more resilient workplace culture, enhance team well-being, and significantly improve overall organizational health and productivity.
